Woman on way to East Sacramento store mugged for her cellphone

A woman walking to a store Tuesday night in East Sacramento was mugged for her cellphone.

The woman was near 42nd and M streets on her way to the Trader Joe’s store on Folsom Boulevard about 8:15 p.m. Tuesday when a car pulled up and two men got out. The men demanded her possessions and, when she refused to comply, they hit her with what appeared to be a handgun.

The men then fled in a dark-colored, two-door sedan southbound on 42nd Street toward Folsom Boulevard after taking the woman’s phone. The woman was treated at the scene for complaint of pain.
